@ZBauermaster It was a great read this summer, thanks for the inspiration.

@ZBauermaster It’s the little fruit cups that get me every time.

Agreed, reading this book over the summer transformed our staff back to school PD days, looking forward to implementing more ideas from it throughout the year.

I’ve found as a principal that when I’m feeling frustrated with a student - sometimes the best thing I can do is just go eat lunch with them in the cafeteria and talk about anything but school.

It reframes my perspective quickly.

We waste so much time and energy on things that don’t matter. In the end all that matters are people, love, and relationships.

When talking about the challenges of parenting, my wife said, “We just need to remember to keep showing up, keep loving them.”

Such a great reminder for educators too…

Even though the work is tough…keep showing up, keep loving them.

It’s time for us to more than just survive,

10 mistakes I made early in my leadership (some I still struggle with). Which ones do you relate to? What would you add to the list?

[John Bridle @j_bridle]

@flipping_A_tchr Depends on the purpose, if the teacher has different areas of the room set up museum style, where they have various artifacts from various Presidents and students are supposed to think like historians and develop context clues for what was accomplished in the term of a President

Inspired by @JusttheAP @theadamhoughton ordered some postcards to celebrate successes
